Connectivity issues with wired PC after setting up powerline adapter connections on network

I'm running Windows 8.1 on my desktop PC which is hardwired to my Cisco e2000 wireless router. Ever since I hooked up my TP-LINK TL-PA4010 500mbps powerline connections, I've been having problems where my internet connection will just completely stall at connecting when attempting to load a website and then not load. Usually within a few seconds, it will come back. This seems to happen every now and then and I'm not sure what is causing it or if there is a specific setting that is causing it. I have one powerline adapter connected hardwired to my router and the other powerline connected hardwired to my TV, which works fine. I haven't heard anyone else complain, just can't seem to figure out what's causing the odd random internet issues with my desktop PC. I also tried reserving DHCP address specifically for my desktop and chromecast through the router, which didn't help either.

It seemed to have stopped disconnecting my internet when I reset my router settings. So looks like something just wasn't right that I may have changed unknowingly after setting up the powerline adapter.

Yes, it all started after plugging in the powerline adapters. I don't see the network connection icon in the task bar change either, it stays connected even when the internet is down, then comes back on seconds later.

iif so, have you tried to isolate the powerline network by connecting two hosts via powerline adapters ONLY, peer to peer, and try copying files to each other and observe the performance and network activity?

> it stays connected even when the internet is down, then comes back on seconds later

what comes back? what do you mean by that Windows "stays connected" and "then comes back on seconds later"?

Highfive is so simple that setting up every meeting room takes just minutes and every employee will be able to start or join a call from any room with ease. Never be called into a meeting just to get it started again. This is how video conferencing should work!

I haven't tried connecting the two hosts via powerline adapters only. By it stays connected, I mean the network connection icon that I have enabled in the task bar, that shows that internet is still connected. Forget the comes back on seconds later in regards to network connection icon, I mean that specifically for the internet, the internet connection seems to come back on 20-30 seconds in. Today, I am noticing that a lot of the devices in our house is having trouble getting on the internet until after the third or fourth try of reloading browser.
